Through it all, we were treated to our share of stunning surprises and shocking disappointments. Before we move onto the postseason –– look here for our pairings –– let’s take one more peek back at the regular season and check out some potential candidates for the Class 5A MVP award.

RB B.J. Catalon, Westside – The senior carved up defenses all year long, exploding for 2,029 rushing yards and 31 total touchdowns on 164 carries. He averaged 12.4 yards per carry en route leading the Wolves to the No. 2 seed in District 20-5A.

RB Trey Williams, Dekaney – After missing out on the playoffs in 2010, Williams returned with a vengeance and led the area with 2,420 rushing yards on 252 carries. He also accounted for 31 total touchdowns to help Dekaney clinch the No. 2 seed in the vaunted, District 13-5A.

QB Brooks Haack, Katy – The senior quarterback shed his reputation as a game manager this season, tossing for 1,529 yards, 25 touchdowns and no – yes, zero – interceptions. With his pinpoint passing, the Tigers went on to finish 10-0 in the regular season.

QB Averion Hurts, Channelview – The senior threw for 3,451 yards, rushed for 352 yards and accounted for 39 total touchdowns to propel Channelview to a 5-5 record — two more wins than the team notched in the last three years combined.

Now, of course, there will always be some standout players that slip through the cracks, so feel free to share your opinion and submit comments with your Class 5A MVP nomination if he isn’t listed above. If not, then vote on these candidates.
